Each Sunday through June 12, players can enter a $600 tournament where the first place prize is a $13,500 WSOP Main Event package. The package includes the $10k Main Event buy-in, flights, VIP airport transportation and a five night stay at the Vdara Hotel, Las Vegas.

Ok, I get it that some people like to banter at the table, which as long as it is friendly is cool, but some people take this stuff too seriously. What ever happened to a friendly game of poker where you take loses in stride and wish your fellow poker player the best and have fun in a non destructive way? I realize I may be an idealist and this is usually not something I find too often playing live, but it just sucks when people can’t control their anger or their physical, mental or financial limits.
Why get on a site and it’s obvious you are burned out for the day, and then just start trying to pick fights or call people names because you lost a hand or just start going all in on every hand making it so people can’t even play?
When any of this happens, dude it is time to take a break. Get some fresh air, eat something, take a shower, talk to another human being face to face, go to sleep, SOMETHING, just don’t ruin the game for everyone else.
Can anyone relate? Am I describing you?
Are some sites just worse than others these days?
Thankfully you can block one player’s chat on some sites.:cool:

A good book is part of your learning curve. Buy it and you have it as a permanent reference. One I would recommend, once you know the rules and the basics of the game is David Sklansky’s "Hold em Poker". He is considered to be one of the foremost poker strategists, and he was the first to publish a table of starting hands, which has become the standard of better players. The table ranks the hands and gives the position, either early, middle or late, from which to play them. Having a working knowledge of this alone would stop you playing nonsense hands.
